A large group of women and girls in saffron-orange saris and dark rudraksha malas sit in rows holding small oil lamps, several with lit flames, some with white vibhuti stripes on their foreheads.

Behind them, an audience in white and red clothing sits in a hall with red carpeting, a gold-trimmed altar area and a dark wooden pillar at the top.
